Online Story Watch

[Jayaprakash Satyamurthy]

There are several sf/f e-zines that make a variety of stories available in their entirety online. I've discovered several great stories reading these sites, and some few new authors whom I hope will be making waves in years to come. This thread is created to alert each other when a particularly good sf/f short story is posted on the net, and over time, should serve as a starting point for hours of good, clean online literary fun.

Here's a hilarious first-contact story by Terry Bisson called 'Just Meat': http://www.electricstory.com/stories/meat.asp

Worth it just for the line “Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?”

Here's a personal favourite, The Death Trap of Dr Nefario by Ben Rosenbaum: http://www.infinitematrix.net/stories/shorts/dr_nefario.html
It's a funny, intersting second look at a certain comic-book side-kick.

Also from the same site (the excellent Infinite Matrix e-zine), Douglas Lain's 'The '84 Regress': http://www.infinitematrix.net/stories/shorts/84regress1.html
Notalgia as the ultimate drug, and more.

The meat one is very short but very good.
